AboutI tinker with SAS, GIS and web technologies to improve public health

My name is Bogdan Rau. I’m passionate about health and dedicated to improving the status quo. Epidemiologist by training with an innate ability to recognize patterns and see the big picture.

I work with teams to create technologies that innovate the public health and healthcare spaces.

In my spare time, I work with health IT startups to implement Salesforce.com into their internal structures.

Empowered and engaged in my community, both at the local and national level.
